Export to PDF preserving groups

[boriscargo]

Hello, is there a way to export to PDF AND preserve groups created in AD ?

Hi Boriscargo,

Unfortunately there is no way to preserve groups when exporting to PDF I'm afraid.

Thanks

thanks for your reply, but is this a limitation of AD or something that PDF can't handled ?

It's a pdf limitation. A pdf can preserve layers but not an application's grouping.

Incorrectly. PDF perfectly retains layers and groups. Here is a screenshot of my PDF file created in another vector editor.

Thank you for answer.
Are there plans to add this feature in the future?

Illustrator also lets you save an .ai file to .pdf that preserves layers including their layer names.

Are Affinity's export features limited by adobe patents and licencing???
This would make sence.
